China Design Now

Sun, 11 May 2008 11:41:43 PDT
Lam Hung’s Peace of Mind poster for a Zen Buddhist centre, Hong Kong, 2001 The V&A’s current flagship exhibition has a very clear, chronological layout, which is a little surprising considering its slightly clumsy title. The show itself begins in Shenzhen – the site of the first McDonald’s in China – and, perhaps more significantly, the birthplace of contemporary Chinese graphic design. Throughout the exhibition, China’s lust for iconic style and mischievous trends is depicted via a dazzling

Two Cultures

Sun, 11 May 2008 15:25:15 PDT
About fifty years ago, C.P. Snow published a famous and by now almost trite conceptualization of the split between science and humanities as “two cultures” which could not communicate.

These two worlds sometimes presented themselves in such gross opposition as to make the individual hourly sessions tha

Caetano Veloso

Sun, 11 May 2008 15:55:18 PDT
I talked to someone recently about Caetano Veloso, Brazilian music, Marisa Monte, and Spanish music (like Shakira, Juanes, and Julieta Venegas) so I thought I would post some Caetano Veloso songs from a CD of his that I have called Noites do Norte. I am sure there are better Veloso songs out there, but I don't know them all. If anyone wants to recommend a better song from his library, by all means go ahead in the comments section. Eu falou um poquinho em portugues. ;) Here are some from the Noi

What are Phi Numbers?

Sun, 11 May 2008 03:19:26 PDT
This Sunday’s Observer has the first figures from PoliticsHome’s Phi5000 - these are figures from daily questioning of a panel of 5000 respondents by YouGov, recruited from the YouGov panel. What this isn’t is a normal YouGov poll, rather the Phi5000 is shamelessly prioritising tracking - the polls are weighted politically in the same way as YouGov’s polls so they aren’t skewed in a party partisan way, but beyond that representativeness takes a back seat to consistency, with the same people bei
